The hysteresis results from different operation procedure of the experiment. Gradually increasing inflow velocity can transform the envelope flame into a wake flame. The blow-off curve can be plotted by determining every critical inflow velocity that makes an envelope flame become a wake flame at different fuel-ejection velocities. In contrast, decreasing the inflow veiocity can transform the wake or lift-off flame into an envelope one. The reattachment curve can be obtained by the same method to explore the blow-off curve, but the intake process is reverse. However, these two curves are not coincident, except the origin. The discrepancy between them is termed as hysteresis, and it results from the difference between the burning velocities associated with both curves. At the lowest fuel-ejection velocity, no hysteresis exists between both curves owing to nearly no burning velocity difference there. Then, raising the fuel-ejection velocity enhances hysteresis and the discrepancy between the two curves. However, as fuel-ejection velocity exceeds a critical value, the intensity of hysteresis almost keeps constant and causes the two curves to be parallel to each other.展开更多
